So I was listening to the Souleful awesomeness that is the Skyrim soundtrack earlier this week, and then someone sent me a link to this. Now all I want to do is take a month off and live in Tamriel again. Oh hello TESO...could you be the answer....?

April Fools' Day came and went with less gusto than usual, as many sites and gamers decided to play it straight... but we still had our fair share of gags, fake announcements and assorted tomfoolery. Tomfoolery, I say! So, to brighten up this muggy Wednesday afternoon, here's a selection of our favourites from around the internet!

Google have pulled out all of the stops for this year's April Fools' Day, with a Pokemon challenge for all you budding trainers out there. The joke is that there are a whole bunch of augmented reality critters out there just waiting to be captured. But head over to Google Maps on your smartphone or iDevice and you'll see that there's a proper Pokemon hunt going on right now.

Zoom in to major cities in Google Maps and you'll see various Pokemon hanging out for you to catch. What are you waiting for?
